Usually, the jump is the scariest part of leaping from a cliff. Not so for one thrill seeker in Australia. In this video posted by YouTube user “Terry Tufferson,” a man meets a curious great white shark just moments after leaping into Sydney Harbor. A lot of commenters are calling the video fake on YouTube (where it’s seen a million views in one day!) but, real or not, it’s freaky either way.
